  • Summary

    The ancestors of the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation existed many centuries ago as a community of people...a Tribe living together, farming, hunting and fishing to survive.

    Much has changed since that time. Today the Sycuan Tribe governs its Reservation, owns and operates a Casino anda Golf Resort, and owns a number of other business ventures in the San Diego Region.

    One attribute that remains unchanged, however, is Sycuan's sense of community. Sycuan is more than just a business. Sycuan is a community of people working together toward a common goal. Whether you work in our state-of-the-art Casino, our beautiful Resort, or become a staff member in our Tribal Government division, you will be part of the Sycuan family.
